About Me
I am Pete Ormond, a dedicated guitarist and composer, creating the music that I like and hope you do too
New Tracks
The electric guitar features heavily in popular African music. Its usually wonderfully rich and melodic, this track has a little of that. Available now!
Writing
Busy writing tracks for the next album. Its quite a challenge but it's worth it when all the tracks come together and the albums begin to take on their own meaning
I'm excited to see how this next album sounds. One things for sure, I've not heard it yet and you'll be the first to know, well maybe the second. Hear the first of the tracks below!
New Tracks!
ITV Reprise
Into The View with a little Piano. I wondered whether it would enhance the track, I think it does. What do you think?
Feel free to let me know via the Contact section down below
Hazy Days
This track came as a bit of a surprise to me. I didn't start out with this in mind, it began to form when I added that little repeating highlight you hear on the Fender Strat, hope you like it!
Available now on iTunes! it has the sparkly acoustic rhythm that I imagined along with a silky lead that complements it. Jan says its 'wonderful', that's good enough for me
New Tracks!
Down to the Sea
The brand new track, Down to the Sea will be released on 6th Sept 2024. Have a listen and let me know what you think!
Brush Strokes
Recording is now complete and Brush Strokes will be available on 20 Sept 2024. It's a nice upbeat track with lots going on, I think you'll like it! Audio available soon
Spanish Eyes
A crystal like acoustic track with a pretty melody. You'll see what I mean on it's iTunes release date of 4th October 2024, not too long now. Audio available soon
Composition
Ideas can come from anywhere, I'll pick a style I like, I may find some unusual or interesting chords on the guitar and from there gradually build up a track from scratch.
When I have a clearer idea of the track, I'll start to put the song structure together and map out the intro, verses, chorus and maybe a bridge and an ending. I'll choose the instrument voicings
Traditionally the drums and bass are recorded first along with a scratch track (basic rhythm run through on an acoustic guitar) I can then record the final tracks ready for finishing.
Contact me for order enquiries, connecting, or for any other questions!
The View EP is now available on iTunes and features The View, New Day, Millie and Shades.
The Into the View album features the first 10 tracks and it's available right now!
Best wishes,
